Orientals in the Kibbutz

Israel 2022 | 72 minutes | Hebrew

In the 1940s, socialist ideology captured the hearts of the director's father and his friends from the Hatikva neighborhood. After a period of training, they were sent to Kibbutz Kissufim. But even though they were the pillars of the young kibbutz, they left heartbroken. They refuse definitions of bias and discrimination against Mizrahis and are still convinced that the kibbutz saved them. The film is a journey into this wound, which has not healed ever since.
